A family group of black-crested Sulawesi Macaques enjoying time together. IUCN Red List Endangered Species ~ Threatened. The black-crested Sulawesi Macaques is one of the most endangered monkeys in the world, populations declining 60% in the last 10 years. This monkey is found on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia, where it is hunted because its meat is considered a delicacy. Habitat destruction is also contributing to their demise I just read this sad story about some Macaques in a British Zoo at the end of last year…I’m not sure of it’s validity, if this is confirmed as true, I am outraged! / If anyone can confirm this really happened, be sure to let me know.

All the intelligence and talent in the world can’t make a singer. The voice is a wild thing. It can’t be bred in captivity. Willa Sibert Cather (1873-1947)

Taken at the Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia. This Lion kept wandering up and down the same stretch of fence, it must have almost been feeding time. He looked quite sad though and I tried to express this in the photo. Black and White conversion done in Lightroom with some vignetting added also. This photo was taken with my mums Canon 40D (thanks mum) as my battery died after a big day of shooting.

Black Panther – although you can see the Leopard markings if you look closely

Your life was brilliant / Your heart was pure / You were an angel / Of that I’m sure You’re beautiful…it’s true / I saw your race / In a wild, dark place / And I broke your heart in two You caught our eye / As you swung on by / We could see from your face / That you were always wild Goodbye my friend / As we near the end / I am afraid it’s true / I have neglected you So onward will I trod and traipse / Screwing up this magic place / Toss you out with all my dreams / Replaced by empty, hollow things.

I enjoyed playing with the composition when taking this shot – I liked the idea the viewer would be intrigued as to what she was looking at, around this corner….

I liked the angle of this shot, and thought it would be a great Black and White. Did you know Zebra actually means wild ass? There are three species of zebra: the Plains Zebra, Grevy’s Zebra and the Mountain Zebra. The Plains Zebra and the Mountain Zebra belong to the subgenus Hippotigris, but Grevy’s Zebra is the sole species of subgenus Dolichohippus. The latter resembles an ass while the former two are more horse-like. Nevertheless, DNA and molecular data show that zebras do indeed have monophyletic origins. All three belong to the genus Equus along with other living equids. In certain regions of Kenya, Plains zebras and Grevy’s zebras coexist. The unique stripes and behaviors of zebras make these among the most familiar animals to people. They can be found in a variety of habitats, such as grasslands, savannas, woodlands, thorny scrublands, mountains and coastal hills. However, various anthropogenic factors have severely impacted zebra populations, in particular hunting for skins and habitat destruction. Grevy’s zebra and the Mountain zebra are endangered. While Plains zebras are much more plentiful, one subspecies, the quagga, went extinct in the late nineteenth century.

The lion (Panthera leo) is a member of the family Felidae and one of four big cats in the genus Panthera. With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight, it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in Sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with a critically endangered remnant population in northwest India, having disappeared from North Africa, the Middle East, and Western Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene (about 10,000 years ago), the lion was the most widespread large land mammal beside humans. They were found in most of Africa, much of Eurasia from western Europe to India and, in the Americas, from the Yukon to Peru. Should they survive the rigors of cubhood, lionesses in secure habitat, such as national parks, frequently reach an age of 12–14 years whereas male lions seldom live for longer than 8 years. However, there are records of lionesses living for up to 20 years in the wild. In captivity both male and female lions can live for over 20 years. They typically inhabit savanna and grassland, although they may take to bush and forest. Lions are unusually social compared to other cats. A pride of lions consists of related females and offspring and a small number of adult males. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The lion is an apex and keystone predator, although they will resort to scavenging if the opportunity arises. While lions, in general, do not selectively hunt humans, some have been known to become man-eaters and seek human prey. The lion is a vulnerable species, having seen a possibly irreversible population decline of 30 to 50 percent over the past two decades in its African range; populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks. Although the cause of the decline is not well understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern. Lions have been kept in menageries since Roman times and have been a key species sought after and exhibited in zoos the world over since the late eighteenth century. Zoos are cooperating worldwide in breeding programs for the endangered Asiatic subspecies. The male lion is highly distinctive and is easily recognized by its mane. The lion, particularly the face of the male, is one of the most widely recognized animal symbols in human culture.
